Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.

Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.

Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.

Make your plans today
'Fore the evening's on
Or you'll end up
Racing with the sun.

Get your day's work done
Get your day's work done
Or soon you'll be
Racing with the sun.

Make your plans today
'Fore the evening's on




Or you'll end up
Racing with the sun.

"You have power and money, but you are mortal
You know you cannot escape death
But immortality can be obtained
*The legend is always the same
If others have succeed in conquering death
Why must we accept it?
I know where the immortals live
And how to obtain their secret
We too must become wise men
The elements of chemistry are many, but finite
So are the techniques of enlightenment* "
